Our family of four is busy, busy, busy, and we have had to work hard to create a routine that works for us. We really do have something going on every night but Friday. Our typical week works about like this: Since we are often not home throughout the week, we have tried to find […]

This post contains affiliate links. I recently was given the chance to try Thrive Energy Scrub. I have been using it in the mornings when I wash my face. The scrub smells good and is made entirely from plants. No unnatural, unnecessary ingredients and nothing harmful. I felt comfortable letting my seven year old use […]

Have you been to the Dollar Tree lately? I popped in there briefly last week and found ALL SORTS of cute things for Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, and Easter that I wanted to buy. I was able to convince myself to leave the Easter stuff, but you can believe I’m going to go back […]

My “home gym” is little more than a treadmill, a bike, and a shelf with some weights on it, but I’d really like to give it an upgrade soon. I’d love to have a designated space for it and even a gym floor. Until I have the money to make it happen, I am simply […]

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? It’s very hard for me to choose just one favorite, but I can narrow my list down to three of four. Not surprisingly, nearly all of them have a mountain view. As a mountain girl at heart, I love beautiful scenery and a […]

There are about three bags in the back of my car 90 percent of the time: my girls’ dance bags and my gym bag. Since we are talking about fitness and exercise this month, I thought I’d show you what’s in my gym bag. I’m a big believer in using what you have before buying […]
